An AC~ breaker that had large self-wiping contacts and

You could try it.

On any kind of switch for DC power switching,
one thing you want is speed. It's going to arc anyways,
but if you minimize the time it's arcing, the contacts will last longer.
I had thought the 3,000 amps would suffice , Lord knows what circuit that is for, industrial I suspect or another Chinese marketing exaggeration..
